Bitcoin Could Rise to $120K by End-2024: Standard Chartered

The bank previously said it expected the cryptocurrency to reach $100,000 by then.

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value, could rise to $50,000 by the end of this year and up to $120,000 by end-2024, Standard Chartered Bank said in a research report on Monday.

The British multinational bank increased its bitcoin price forecast from the $100,000 . Standard Chartered said at the time that bitcoin had the potential because of several factors, one of them being the banking-sector crisis.

"We now think this estimate is too conservative, and we therefore see upside to our end-2024 target," the report said.

Bitcoin has climbed 80% since the start of the year and is currently trading around $30,100.

The report cites increased bitcoin miner profitability as one of the factors that will drive the price this time.

“The rationale here is that as well as maintaining the bitcoin ledger, miners play a key role in determining net supply of newly mined BTC,” wrote Geoff Kendrick, head of FX and digital assets research.

Increased miner profitability per bitcoin mined means miners can sell less of their output while maintaining cash inflows, reducing net bitcoin supply and thus pushing the prices higher, according to the report.

Real yield protocols are gaining traction as a resilient sector in the crypto market, enabling users to navigate both bull and bear cycles effectively. Unlike narrative-driven projects that rely on token sales, real yield projects generate actual protocol revenue and return value to the community through mechanisms like fee buybacks and token burns. These sustainable business models offer greater resilience across market cycles, making them well-suited for mid- to long-term allocations. Projects such as AAVE, JTO, JUP, and CAKE have established robust revenue frameworks, serving as leading examples across the EVM, Solana, and BSC ecosystems — and are well worth watching.
